Volleyball is beginning to be one of the most exciting indoor and outdoor sports. Nets and knee pads are necessary to prevent unfortunate accidents as well as for solid game practices. Our net has duck tape on it. I have a net with ropes on the order because the old one needs to be replaced. During volleyball, players are required to embrace certain strategies in order to deliver the ball to the other side of the net. In order to win, volleyball requires certain player agility. To keep their attention on learning the game and not just putting the net together, a new net will really help. The antennas, in the cart, are the boundary lines on the net. We have tape holding ours together. There is also tape for lining the court and knee pads that are a part of their uniforms. When teaching, bump, set, and hit techniques we need the right equipment. Those are the three hits that are needed to make sure the ball goes over the net correctly. It usually cost over $100 per student, to go to a summer camp. The students cannot afford to go. Many of my girls have never played volleyball before and this equipment will help me put all the hits together for the perfect delivery over the net. With that, I’ve added a spike trainer to teach spiking, training gloves, a training strap, and arm sleeves to teach the correct spots and placements for bumping the ball. Of course, we cannot play the game without volleyballs and a cart to put them in.
